6/14 Astros[Oswalt] @ COBS!!![Maddux] - 7:05 pm CT on WGN

Maybe he is saving Walker to ph for Pierre

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

So I'm too lazy to go back and read the whole thread...and I've been on vacation for a week so if there was an injury i missed it...was there a good reason for Walker not playing tonight or was it a Dusty reason?

 

Out yesterday and today for no apparent reason. He did ph yesterday.

[Derwood]

ANNOUNCER: Now, pinch-hitting for Ryan Dempster, Todd W-....(muffled) huh? You're s##*in' me, right? (aloud) John Mabry!

[texascub]

The strike zone tonight hasn't been worth a damn. Atleast we got close....

[illiniguy]

Congrats to whoever called Mabry for PH.

That would be me. It was really pretty easy to figure out. You gotta take your best hitter out two days in a row after a three game winning streak.

Director shows Walker in the dugout just to put a fine point on it

Great...cause we couldn't use his bat.

 

Seriously...since Nevin has joined the team, has there been one game where Walker played second, Nevin played first, Barrett Caught and we didn't have Bynum stuck somewhere in the outfield? I don't think there has...

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

At least we went out without a roar. :roll:

[soccer10k]

Cubs lose, time to watch some hockey.

[illiniguy]

And the Astors continue their annual late march to the playoffs. I hate them and us.

[Brian]

this game was terribly managed. The best move was having Nevin in the game.

[BeerHere]

Why the f--- is Neifi starting again?? After another 0-fer his average is down to .214 and his obp is under .300. Why is he here and why does he start? I honestly don't get this anymore.

[NewUserName]

I am guessing Murton and Walker will be sitting tomorrow

Why would we do that and optimize our chances to win. I love it when a bad team handicaps itself even further.

[UMFan83]

I can't wait for this season to be over. I hate everything about the Cubs and if I was a quitter I'd be cheering for anyone but the Cubs right now.

 

I hope you feel pain Dusty you stupid loser.

[BeerHere]

I am guessing Murton and Walker will be sitting tomorrow

 

But Neifi will start.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

I am guessing Murton and Walker will be sitting tomorrow

 

But Neifi will start.

 

Bynum will get the start in left tomorrow.

[Derwood]

But Neifi will start.

 

at third, for A-Ram

It's really to drive us all crazy. It makes me so mad I want to break things.

Dude, Neifi had good numbers against Oswalt. You gotta go by the book

Dude Oswalt is great against lefties, thats why Jock Jones is playing

Of course he will Dusty is free to do whatever he wants. He ruined our team. Ruined it. He took our hero and drove him out of town(Sosa), yet he keeps garbage like Perez around. He pitched Wood and Prior so hard they are shells of what they should be. He sits productive big leaguers like Todd Walker. He cost us the playoffs two years ago by insisting on letting Hawkins blow game after game down the stretch when everone, LaTroy included was calling for someone else to close. He cost us going to the World Series by allowing Mike Lowell to hit instead of Lenny Harris. You know the same Lenny Harris who hit .183 for us including several games at leadoff. I am done with the Cubs until he is fired. He has ruined my passion for baseball.

[soccer10k]

I'm just glad that I slept through most of the game so I didn't have to watch most of it.

[Wilson A2000]

Walker vs righties .325

Neifi vs righties .210

 

What in the world? We gotta get someone to find the bad pics of Dusty that Neifi has. This is ridiculous.
